Ayrton Senna da Silva (Portuguese: eye-AIR-ton; English: AIR-ton; born 21 March 1960 in São Paulo, São Paulo State, Brazil – died 1 May 1994 in San Marino/Imola Circuit, Imola, Italy) was a Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion. He is believed by many to be the greatest driver ever to grace the sport of F1. Senna won Drivers' titles in 1988, 1990 and 1991 as well as 41 race wins in a career which spanned only just over ten years. For most of Senna's career, he formed a great rivalry with four-time World Champion, Alain Prost, to whom he finished runner up in 1989 and 1993.
After winning the British Formula Three Championship in 1983, Senna débuted with Toleman in 1984. After consistently outperforming his car, notably taking a second place in atrocious conditions in Monaco, Senna moved to Lotus, partnering Elio de Angelis for 1985. Senna came out on top that season, and De Angelis' replacements for 1986 and 1987, Johnny Dumfries and Satoru Nakajima, were outclassed.
A deal was arranged to take Senna to McLaren for 1988. In the MP4/4, Senna and Prost dominated, Senna just edging out his teammate for his first title. The rivalry between the two drivers began to heat up and after a controversial incident at the Japanese Grand Prix, Prost took the 1989 title and left for Ferrari. Senna, still at McLaren, took the 1990 title after collision with Prost in Japan, before sufficiently holding off Nigel Mansell in 1991 for his third title. Two more difficult seasons at McLaren followed, falling far behind Mansell in 1992 and being beaten by Prost despite heroic efforts by the Brazilian in 1993. Senna left for Williams in 1994.
At the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Senna crashed heavily at the Tamburello corner on lap six. The Brazilian's Williams FW16 had been leading from pole for the first five laps, three of which had taken place behind the Safety Car. Two laps after the restart, Senna was leading from Michael Schumacher on one of the fastest...
